He does currently have 8 threads on the first page of the Spin Room, after all.

yes I do... and probably all 8 of them were started today. He starts about 6 of them every single morning, just like clock work.

Alright...

Since usmbacker has 19 threads on the first page of the Spin Room, you would consider him a thread spammer, right?

were they all started today?

They were not all started today, but I'm glad you asked. Let's look at the tale of the tape...

First, for Fitbud's front page threads:

6 threads were started today
2 were started yesterday (2 more threads were started yesterday, but they have fallen to the second page)

Now for usmbacker's front page threads:

6 threads were started today
8 threads were started yesterday (1 more thread was started yesterday, but was on the second page)
The other threads were part of his weekend posting.

Going by that information, let me know how Fit is a spammer, but usmbacker isn't. I'll wait.

so you are only the data of two days? got it!

Obama is a private citizen just like I am, am has no ability to "step in" to the business of the duly elected President of the United States.

He can write a letter or call his Critter, just like the rest of us.

Unfortunately, some think that he is still the President, or should be the President in his 3rd term.

But don’t worry: He’s not looking to jump back into the political fray anytime soon. At least not according to his former press secretary and current MSNBC political analyst Josh Earnest.

As Earnest told Chris Jansing, Obama’s not going to get involved in politics again — unless it’s absolutely necessary:

Jansing: What do you think would motivate to get back involved in the public debate in a way he’s not willing to do right now?

Earnest:Well, Chris, after the last eight years, the president doesn’t relish the prospect of getting back into the day-to-day fights that characterize governing the United States of America in the 21st century. The president doesn’t have much interest in, you know, weighing in on the tax reform proposals that the Trump folks are promising to release later this week. He doesn’t have much of an interest in weighing in on what steps Republicans in Congress can take to keep the government open. He spent the last eight years doing it. It’s somebody else’s turn to do that now. I think what would motivate President Obama is if we saw the federal government start to cross some clear red lines in terms of long-observed norms and values that, frankly, I think that we’ve started to take for granted.

Dude, Go cash in for the 400 grand you're going to pocket talking down to the "Wall Street Fat Cats" you bemoaned for eight years and leave us alone and without your tangential social engineering. You have done enough harm in your failed eight years, leave bad enough alone.

Thanks,

Then stop starting threads and/or commenting about him! ODS

And you better hope that Trump fails just as "bad" as Obama did...lol

Not when it directly relates to policy or the state of affairs. Bush was brought up for the sake of reasonable comparison when speaking of the economy, wars and deficits, etc.

And I have no problem with anyone bringing up Obama now when making the same comparisons now.

But this is not one of them. This was an innocuous comment not even made by Obama...with him not doing anything even remotely resembling "stepping in" as of yet.

And do what? Overthrow the government? He's an ex president. George Bush has the same power. Obama better find a hobby because his political career is over.

Most likely just speak up/out about it. I think that's all Earnest is implying. Of course he has no more power now than the rest of us.

This is overblown. Past presidents rarely criticize sitting presidents, and when they do they usually wait a while after inauguration. Sounds like sour grapes otherwise. It's obvious that this is just a discussion of if/when/how President Obama might engage in the public debate. The only really interesting thing about this is Earnest's curious use of the "red line" expression. I would have thought a guy who was hired to be a thoughtful and careful speaker would have stayed away from that loaded turn of phrase considering President Obama's history with it.

You asked if they were all started that day, to which I gave you that day plus the previous one. You could say the second one was a bonus.

You can go ahead and admit that you won't call him out because he shares your political views.
